L'Institut de l'Ebre

L'Institut de l'Ebre is a public secondary education center of FP located in Tortosa, with more than 90 years old, one of the oldest in Catalonia. Agglutinates more than 1200 students, 117 professors, of 27 training cycles of middle and upper level of the following families: Administration and Management, Graphic Arts, Trade and Marketing, Electricity and Electronics, Energy and Water, Installation and Maintenance, Mechanical Manufacturing, Computing , Health and Sociocultural Services and the Community. The center is located in a middle class area where students of different ages and social classes, cultures and geographic zones attend. Socially we are in a culturally varied and rich community. Tortosa is the largest city in the entire territory of Terres de l'Ebre. The area of influence is practically dedicated to the tertiary and secondary sector with medium and small companies. Consequence of the economic situation, there is currently a tertiarization of the economy. Our starting point is the Educational Program of the Center, which promotes the values of welcoming newcomers to our community and from other countries, coeducation, social competence, non-racist education, education for peace, education emotional, inclusion, mediation, respect for the environment, entrepreneurial capacity and the internationalization of the Institute. Our main objectives include promoting the participation of students inside and outside the Institute, favoring the relationships of the educational community and with companies, attitudes that imply the values of solidarity, dialogue, participation, respect and responsibility, as well as fostering behaviors that imply a critical spirit to make decisions responsibly. As an educational center, promoting employability and university orientation, team and cooperative work, digital skills, the promotion of self-study and self-learning and the promotion of European mobility among students are transversal to all cycles and subjects. Another important value is the promotion of an offer that meets the needs of the environment, promoting environmental recycling and the permanent updating of new technologies. In this way, and in accordance with the Center's program of Quality and Continuous Improvement, teaching teams have been created for pedagogical improvement, coexistence, dynamisation, entrepreneurship, ICT-TAC, efficiency and sustainability, communication and internationalization. Each team has a member of the management team, a facilitator and a group of teachers from the 10 professional families. In each team events and activities are organized throughout the year: Convivencia Days, Educational Days, Open Doors, Exhibitions, Entrepreneurship Days and several campaigns related to environmental aspects, solidarity, etc.
